Development of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Systems: The Ascendancy of Multi-Faceted EDR for Evolved Cybersecurity Solutions

In the face of escalating malware infections and a record number of new malware detections each year, modern Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions have become crucial for businesses to stay protected. However, traditional EDR solutions have been criticized for their reactive approach rather than a proactive one.

Enter Qualys Multi-Vector EDR, a game-changer in the cybersecurity landscape. This solution, built natively on Qualys Cloud Platform, has demonstrated superior detection and prevention capabilities in the 2022 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation. In fact, it excelled in the evaluation, showcasing advanced threat visibility and response efficiency compared to other tested EDR solutions.

Qualys Multi-Vector EDR provides unparalleled threat analysis and automated threat response, assessing cyber threats according to MITRE ATT&CK Tactics and Techniques combined with real-time endpoint telemetry. This comprehensive approach allows it to fend off multi-vector attacks effectively.

The latest update of Qualys Multi-Vector EDR, version 2.0, consolidates Endpoint Agents into a single unified agent. This streamlined approach not only makes it easier to deploy and manage but also enhances its performance.

One of the key features of Qualys Multi-Vector EDR 2.0 is its ability to prioritise critical incidents based on asset criticality score. It also identifies symptoms of an attack with deep integration with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Moreover, it prevents future attacks by eliminating vulnerabilities exploited by malware.

Qualys Multi-Vector EDR 2.0 offers superior threat detection and response at a better value compared to traditional EDR and legacy Endpoint Protection (EPP) solutions. It is easy to deploy, use, and manage due to its single lightweight agent, cloud delivery, and unified dashboard.

The importance of Qualys Multi-Vector EDR is underscored by the alarming statistics surrounding data breaches. Businesses are experiencing a record number of data breaches, with the average company taking over 6 months to identify a breach and almost 3 months to contain it. Ransomware payouts are growing, making some cybercriminals millionaires, and billions of cumulative records have been compromised by these breaches.

To help businesses better understand the capabilities of Qualys Multi-Vector EDR 2.0, a webinar demonstrating the new capabilities of Multi-Vector EDR is scheduled for April 12th. The webinar will provide insights into how Qualys Multi-Vector EDR can help businesses stay ahead of cyber threats.

In the face of the growing cyber threat landscape, Qualys Multi-Vector EDR offers a proactive solution that businesses can rely on. Its comprehensive approach, combined with its ease of use and superior value, makes it an essential tool for any business looking to protect itself from cyber threats.

In 2014, a large anti-virus vendor declared that anti-virus software was dead. However, with the evolution of EDR solutions like Qualys Multi-Vector EDR, it seems that the future of cybersecurity is not as bleak as it once seemed. Forrester Analyst Allie Mellen declared in December 2021 that EDR is mostly dead. Yet, solutions like Qualys Multi-Vector EDR are proving her wrong, offering businesses a powerful tool to stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape.
